How to Spray
333394E 11
How to Spray
Take a few moments prior to spraying and re-
view these simple tips to ensure your spray-
ing project is a success.
Dual Speed Control
(Not available on all units)
The speed control feature allows you to slow
down or speed up when spraying.
•
Turn the dual speed control to LOW to
slow down the speed of application when
first learning to spray or when spraying
small items that require more control.
•
The LOW setting delivers more control
and reduces overspray when spraying
thinner materials such as stain.
•
Turn the dual speed control to HIGH
when you want to get to job done fast and
when spraying large surfaces.
•
To reduce overspray, always spray at
lowest speed that results in an accept-
able spray pattern.
Spray Techniques
Use a piece of scrap cardboard to practice
these basic spraying techniques before you
begin spraying the surface.
•
Hold sprayer 10 in. (25 cm) from surface
and aim straight at surface. Tilting the
sprayer to direct the spray angle causes
an uneven finish.
•
Flex wrist to keep sprayer pointed
straight. Fanning sprayer to direct spray
at angle causes uneven finish.
NOTE:
How fast you move the sprayer will
affect spray application. If material is pulsat-
ing, you are moving too fast. If material drips,
you are moving too slow. See
Troubleshoot-
ing
, page 24.

Triggering Sprayer
Pull trigger after starting stroke. Release trig-
ger before end of stroke. Sprayer must be
moving when trigger is pulled and released.
Aiming Sprayer
Aim sprayer at bottom edge of previous
stroke, overlapping each stroke by half.
Rotating the spray tip guard changes the pat-
tern to either the vertical or horizontal orienta-
tions.
When spraying vertical corners turn spray tip
guard to the horizontal orientation and move
sprayer up and down.
Spray Pattern Quality
A good spray pattern is evenly distributed as
it hits the surface. If tails persist, material may
need to be thinned. If material needs to be
thinned follow manufacturers recommenda-
tions.
If you see pulsations in the pattern, you can
either turn the dual speed control to HIGH or
slow down your speed of movement.
